We’re inching closer and closer to the 2026 Philippine International Motor Show. We’ve already confirmed which brands will be showcasing its updated lineups, and slowly but surely, we’re also starting to see what models exactly will be unveiled during the upcoming show.
Toyota Motor Philippines, for its part, has confirmed it will be launching three new models on June 4, so mark your calendars. The carmaker has only shared a teaser photo at the moment, but based on previous rumors, we already have guesses on what those will be.
As we’ve mentioned in a previous article, there have been talks about Toyota possibly unveiling the all-new Land Cruiser FJ, the all-new Hilux BEV, and the Land Cruiser HEV soon. And as we’ve previously speculated, “soon” might just mean “during PIMS.” Besides, if you look at the silhouettes of the blacked-out cars in the teaser, things actually check out.

The LC300 HEV’s homologation papers have been around for some time now, while the fully electric Hilux and the modern-day FJ are both already available in Thailand. If these were, in fact, what Toyota will be launching, none of it would really come as a surprise.
Now, if these speculations hold true, then that means we’ll have to wait a bit longer before we see the bZ3X on our shores. In case you missed it, we just reported that the Land Transportation Office has recently released homologation papers for this EV, so we were expecting it to be the next one Toyota was launching. But it seems we could be wrong. Very wrong.
In any case, PIMS is just a little over a week away as of this writing, so we won’t have to wait long. Watch this space for more updates.
